PHILIPPINE National Police ( PNP ) Chief General Benjamin Acorda Jr. has ordered the crafting of guidelines aimed to strengthen its operations against the illegal sale of e-cigarettes, commonly known as vape, especially to minors. On Thursday, March 7, 2024, Acorda met with Health Secretary Ted Herbosa, who sought the PNP ’s assistance to ensure that individuals 17 years old and below will have no access to vape products.
Herbosa noted the urgent threat posed by the widespread use of these products to the physical health and overall well-being of the nation’s youth. In response, Acorda presented a comprehensive strategy to address the growing issue, particularly to apprehend vape sellers who are violating provision under Republic Act 11900, or the “The Vaporized Nicotine and Non-nicotine Products Regulation Act.” “Our law enforcement agencies will work hand in hand with the Department of Health to ensure the strict enforcement of existing laws, holding vendors and retailers accountable for compliance with age restrictions and imposing penalties for any violations,” said Acord
